From Back Cover:
There's something in the attic of Fortyfoot House. Something that rustles, scampers and scratches. Something with fur. But it isn't a rat. It's something far, far more terrifying than a rat. Recently divorced, David Williams, takes a job restoring Fortyfoot House, a dilapidated 19th century orphanage, hoping to find peace of mind and get to know his young son, Danny. But then he hears the scratching noises in the attic. And he sees long dead people walking across the lawn. Does Fortyfoot House exist in today, yesterday or tomorrow - or all three at once? Only one thing is certain - it is a house with a dark, unthinkable secret that threatens to send Davids world hurtling into a living nightmare. A nightmare that only David himself can prevent - if he can escape the thing in the attic .

Masterton out does himself this time! A truly haunting tale of unimaginable creatures, time twists, and one man's persistent curiosity and bravery in spite of himself. I loved it!
This book was the first one that seriously scared me. It took two tries to get past certain scenes. As "Shivers" put it so nicely...
- "Quite seriously, one of the most disturbing novels I have ever read."
I totally agree. Well worth the read!
